Judith grabs the listener immediately with her poetry. it's a great way to open the story. This story weaves between first person reflection and interviews, letting us know what it is like to be an outsider - in more ways than one.
Judith is a talented writer and speaker. A few parts of the story could be voiced a bit slower to compensate for the ways people hear the radio when they are in the car or the kitchen.
This is a compelling piece, especially since it lets us know the power of the written word for Judith and tells us about her struggles growing up. I like hearing her thoughts in poetry and not just in reflection.
This piece would make a great drop-in to a local or national magazine. It would also pair nicely with other youth pieces for a half-hour or hour segment.
